Luke Combs closed out the ceremony with a high-energy performance of his newest single, “Beer Never Broke My Heart.” The choice to have Combs end the night on its final note was pretty brilliant, as he drove home the night’s party theme. Fans couldn’t help but dance and sing along to the song, while raising their drinks in the air.
Kelsea Ballerini – “Miss Me More”

Kelsea Ballerini didn’t disappoint when she delivered a fiery performance of “Miss Me More” during the show. The singer’s red-hot moment began with a stripped down version of the song on a side stage. After serving up the song’s intro with just an acoustic guitar, Ballerini made her way to the main stage where she was surrounded by a full band. A spectacular pyrotechnics display capped off the stellar performance.
Carrie Underwood – “Southbound”

The CMT Music Awards’ most awarded artist, who nabbed a 2019 belt buckle for Female Video of the Year and Video of the Year, brought the party to The Parthenon in Nashville for another unforgettable performance. Underwood looked like a real-life Barbie doll on stage with her high ponytail, and bright-pink colored mini skirt, as she channeled summer-vibes with her upbeat single, “Southbound.”
